Celebrate Teacher Appreciation – May 6-10

Feb 21, 2013

This year, May 6-10 is Teacher Appreciation Week – an opportunity to say “Thank You” to teachers, staff, and volunteers for the amazing work they do all year long. It doesn’t take much, but that simple “thank you” can mean the world and shows that you recognize the talent it takes to guide our leaders of tomorrow.To say thanks, do something they won’t forget!

Fill a small tote bag with pens, highlighters and notepads to help make grading papers easier. Imprint it with a saying, such as “Thanks for your A+ effort!” to remind them everyday how much they’re appreciated.

Going back and forth from home to the classroom means computer files need to move back and forth, too. Thank your teachers with a USB flash drive imprinted with the school’s logo to make it recognizable for schoolwork.

Everyone can use sport bottles or travel mugs! Keep them hydrated and refreshed throughout the day, and add “Our teachers are the coolest” to make the gift more special.

Consider giving them a photo frame. Insert into the frame a note of thanks that they can eventually replace with a picture of their choosing.

Saying thank you is easy and much appreciated. For all that they do, giving your teachers, staff and volunteers a small gift… while only a token… shows you care. Enjoy celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with them even though they deserve special attention all year long for all they do!
